The strike follows another US operation on February 22, in which Wasim Tahsin Bayraqdar, another leader of the organization, was also killed.

Although Hurras al-Din declared its dissolution in late January, US forces have continued to target its leadership. The group, which the United States considers a terrorist organization, had been active in northwestern Syria, operating from mountainous areas and including foreign jihadists among its ranks.

The announcement of the group's disbandment came after a rebel coalition, led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), overthrew President Bashar al-Assad and took control of Damascus on December 8. Following these events, Hurras al-Din stated it was no longer needed.

Despite this, US military operations in Syria remain ongoing. American forces have been occupying the northern region of the country since 2014 under the pretext of combating the Islamic State (IS) and other extremist groups. CENTCOM has not ruled out further strikes against remaining elements of Hurras al-Din or other jihadist factions operating in the region.
